Lowe's recalls Roman shades and roll-up blinds due to strangulation risk from children's neck entanglement with cords or loops. Affected products sold by Lowe's may need repair kits to prevent injury.
Roman Shades: Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. Roll-Up Blinds: Strangulations can occur if the lifting loop slides off the side of the blind and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.
Lowe's is recalling all Roman shades and roll-up blinds they sold because young children can get strangled if their necks get caught between cords or loops. This is a serious hazard that requires immediate action to prevent injury.
